本刊讯中共中央、国务院目前在北京隆重举行国家科学技术奖励大会。会上，中国计量科学研究院（以下简称“国家计量院”）完成的“飞秒激光光学频率梳”项目．荣获国家科学技术进步二等奖。这是国家计量院自2006年以来连续4年获得国家科学技术进步奖。

激光、啁啾脉冲放大、超快光学和诺贝尔奖

2018年诺贝尔物理学奖表彰了两项在激光物理领域的突破性发明,其中啁啾脉冲放大是获得超强超短激光脉冲的核心技术.本文介绍了自1960年世界上第一台激光器问世以来,人们在追求超短激光脉冲过程中一系列关键成果,及其在现代科学研究中的重要应用.

Light,Lasers,and the Nobel Prize

The Year 2020 represents 60 years since the first successful operation of the laser.This anniversary provides an ideal occasion to reflect on the myriad ways that lasers have revolutionized society,and to consider the many new areas of research that continue to drive photonics in unexpected directions.Yet at the same time as we consider these exciting future perspectives,it is also interesting to see how the development of the laser traces a path that intertwines basic and applied science,and intersects with the recognition of many of the pioneers of optics through the Nobel Prize.Of course,an exhaustive history of such a rich topic cannot be given in a short Perspective,but it is perhaps possible to describe some of the key highlights.
